Pistol Grip Drill Einhell TE-CD 18 Li-i BL, 1.69 kg, Keyless Chuck, 2 Ah Battery

The Einhell TE-CD 18 Li-i BL pistol grip drill is a compact, brushless cordless drill driver designed for general drilling and screwdriving tasks. Weighing 1.69 kg, it combines a keyless 13 mm metal chuck and a two-gear gearbox to deliver a balance of torque and speed. The tool is powered by a 2 Ah Lithium‑Ion battery (two batteries included) from the Power X‑Change family and features a hammer function for drilling into masonry and concrete, an LED work light for low-light conditions, and an ergonomic Softgrip handle with a secondary handle to reduce strain during demanding jobs.

Advantages

The brushless motor provides higher efficiency, longer runtime and reduced maintenance compared with conventional brushed motors. A keyless 13 mm metal chuck allows quick bit changes and secure clamping without tools. Two‑speed gearing offers a low-speed high‑torque setting for driving and a high‑speed setting for fast drilling. The integrated hammer function increases impact energy for drilling into stone and concrete up to about 10 mm. Included two 2 Ah PXC batteries and a fast charger extend continuous use and compatibility with other Power X‑Change tools. The compact pistol grip design and Softgrip surface improve handling and control on the job.

How to use

Charge the supplied 2 Ah Power X‑Change batteries fully in the fast charger before first use. Insert the charged battery into the drill until it clicks in place. Select the appropriate drill bit or screwdriver bit and tighten it into the keyless chuck by hand. Choose the correct gear for the task: first gear for high torque when driving screws or using larger drill bits, second gear for higher speed drilling. For masonry or concrete, engage the hammer function and use a suitable masonry bit; apply steady pressure and keep the secondary handle to stabilise the tool. Use the LED light to illuminate the work area when visibility is limited. After use, remove the battery, clean the chuck and store the drill in its transport case.

Recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety goggles, hearing protection and dust mask when hammer drilling. Match bit type and size to the material and avoid overloading the drill by selecting the correct gear and using controlled pressure. Keep batteries away from extreme heat and store them charged to mid‑level for long‑term storage; use only original Power X‑Change batteries and charger for optimal performance and safety.
